Switch on to cheaper rates with Next Smart Saver.*
#PowerSwitch savings.
Make the most of switching off at peak times with our Next Smart Saver tariff that adapts the cost of the electricity you use based on the time of day you use it.
You’ll have the option to use electricity at a lower price (pence per kilowatt hour unit rates) during defined ‘off-peak’ hours of 5am-4pm and 7pm-2am, and during ‘super off-peak’ hours of 2am-5am, while charging a higher price during ‘peak’ hours of 4pm-7pm.
Explore Next Smart SaverFour steps to making a positive change.
With lives being so busy, it can be easier to keep things as they are. Here are four steps to success with your new energy saving habits.
Know your why.
On average, we spend five hours a day on our screens - what else could you do with just one of those hours that would bring you joy and wellbeing? Make a note of this - your own personal reason why.
Make it a team game.
Saving energy shouldn’t feel like homework. You’ll find your new habits are much more likely to stick when you come together with others to make the most of switching off.
Plan it in your diary.
If you rely on finding a moment to switch off when it feels like the right time, there can always be a reason to stay plugged in. Making space and time in your week to look forward to helps you prioritise what’s important to you.
Celebrate the difference.
Habits can get let go when we don’t see their impact. Capture the moment with a photo, record yourself a short voice note afterwards - to remember how it feels to switch off, to record the impact, and to inspire you to continue.
